This improves legibility of labels that follow lines in pitched views.
The previous approach used the limited information in the shader to
calculate put the glyph in approximatelyright place. The new approach
does this more accurately by doing it on the cpu where we have access to
the entire line geometry.

Ports https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/4455
* Fix text-size/composite-function-line-placement test
* Refactor to PaintPropertyBinders-like strategy
* Dedupe gl::Program construction

* Dedupe coveringZoomStops method
* Fixup tests
* Fix CI errors (hidden within #if block)
This converts the style property classes (CirclePaintProperties and so on) to the same tuple-based approach as gl::Attribute and gl::Uniform. The approach is outlined in https://github.com/mapbox/cpp/blob/master/C%2B%2B%20Structural%20Metaprogramming.md.
The main advantage of this approach is it allows writing algorithms that work on sets of style properties, without resorting to code generation or manually repetitive code. This lets us iterate on approaches to data-driven properties more easily.
Another advantage is that the cascading, unevaluated, and evaluated states of a set of properties exist as independent structures, instead of individual properties holding their own state. This is a more functional approach that makes data flow clearer and reduces state.
